A victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night at Amway Center would give the Magic their 26th win of the season — the most in the post-Dwight Howard rebuilding process spanning nearly four seasons.
The Magic finished 25-57 last season. They were 30-62 the first season without Howard in 2012-13 and 23-59 in 2014-15.
While it's certainly not cause to throw a parade, every win now counts heavily for a Magic team that hasn't been this close to tracking the playoffs in this rebuilding time-frame.
They are 25-32 and were five games out of the eighth and final playoff spot before Saturday's action.
